Anyone have any great ideas on how to SAFELY ship a Honer D6 Clavinet without it's original lid/cover? This puppy has to travel over 2000 miles, and I've heard enough horror stories to make me do some research first.

Now taking all ideas .... thanx in advance !

Hi UD

I understand some of the guys have been using bicycle boxes. They are sturdy and about the right size. So, check out your local bike shop

When I sold my Genesys Keyboard I had the same problem.

I built a box from a Refrigerator card board and bought dense foam blocks to protect the unit. A little imagination will get you a long way. Oh I bought the foam from a local Fabric store.

The shippers want you to double box it. Pack it good in one box then put that box inside a larger box surrounded by 2 inches of foam. That's what I was told. I had to ship mackie subs that way from NY to Texas weight, over a 100 lbs each.
Or you could take it to a pack and ship place like The UPS Store costs a little more but sometimes the cargo is worth the price, buy the extra ins that makes them responsible.
